We have been tracking this issue after we heard whisperings in private security circles last week. Upon disclosure of the details we began remediating immediately. <\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of end users should not experience any issues as a result of the changes we\u2019re making. In fact, Google estimates this change will affect less than 1% of the internet. (The SSL 3.0 protocol is almost 15 years old but has remained in place to support users running older browsers.) <\/p>\n<p>The attack vector for this vulnerability has prerequisites and is very sophisticated. As such, the real world severity is far below the recent Heartbleed &#038; Shellshock vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/10\/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30.html\" target=\"_blank\">Google\u2019s Security blog<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to be 100% protected, you can disable SSLv3 in your browser settings.
